Best Answer

Writers reveal information about characters in two basic ways:

  • Direct characterization - telling the reader directly about the character, as in "He was a hard, bitter man."
  • Indirect characterization - showing the reader about the character by dialogue, action, and appearance, as in "He made the sort of face you'd make if you bit into a lemon when she walked into the room."
